Dear Reader,

This is it – the one time during the year when I reach out to our readers to ask for your support of BNG’s independent, faith-based journalism. As the calendar year – and our fiscal year – draw to a close, your gift of $25, $50 or $100 will make a difference. (Each year, contributions during these last few weeks account for more than 50 percent of our Annual Fund income.)

There is another compelling reason for you to prayerfully consider a generous year-end gift: Your financial investment in our work is a statement of support for a free religious press in a democratic society.

This year BNG has published hundreds of original news stories, features and opinion articles in service to our mission of interpreting Christianity and culture through informative and compelling journalism. Audience engagement continues to be robust, with approximately 2.3 million visits and 3.7 million page views this year.

Only a tiny fraction of readers – including people who visit baptistnews.com multiple times – make a donation in any amount to support our work. I hope you are the exception!

If you have already made a contribution this year, THANK YOU!

If you have not made a gift – or you would like to make an additional, year-end contribution – would you do that today? Use our secure giving form to make a one-time gift. Even better, become a BNG Sustainer with a monthly, recurring donation. Your gifts are 100 percent tax-deductible.

With your help, BNG can do more than survive in these challenging times. Independent, fact-based, faith-informed journalism practiced with excellence and integrity can thrive, free from coercion, control or other undue influence from individuals, organizations or denominational bodies.

With warm wishes for moments of profound meaning and joy this Christmas,

 

 

David R. Wilkinson
Executive Director/Publisher
